A/N: Sup people, how're you? I'm doing well, watched Rise of Skywalker recently, didn't really care for it. Also watched Joker, liked that a lot more. So yeah, that's what I've been doing lately.

So the Gnome, I find it weird that the G in Gnome is silent, but than again again I guess it's not that weird since words like knife have a silent K. Also if she's a Gnome where's her pointy red hat? Where's her fluffy white bread? And why isn't she selling me on Travelocity?

Am I losing my mind? Is this what losing your mind is like? Well since I don't have a better segue into the chapter, I'll just let you get to the chapter.

Chapter 72

I'm Randal Rivers. I had bright idea of exploring the abandon mine outside of town. What I got out of it was more than I bargained for, but I guess that's the outcome of a lot of these stories.

I got to the mine; I don't know why it was abandoned or what they were mining for, but maybe it would be worth checking out.

I traveled along the rusty mine tracks deeper into the mine. As I continued deeper, it got increasingly darker, thus I decided to pull out my flashlight. I came to a local chamber where some abandoned tools and the remains of an elevator were.

The tools were caked with rust and the wooden frame of the elevator had rotted away. So I guess I'll have to go through the mine on foot. As I said before I don't know what they were mining here, but I could imagine it was maybe gold or silver? Maybe more expensive ore like mithril or adamantite. I hope that I could find a nugget of the stuff. Doubtful the rusty tools would be worth much.

I continued deeper into the mine until I came to an intersection. There were three tunnels (four, including the one I came) and the left hand tunnel had rubble blocking it. So my options were the forward and right hand tunnels. I went right.

I walked for about a few minutes until I came to a dead end. I turned back and decided to go down the last tunnel. As I went down the last tunnel, I couldn't help but get the feeling that I was being watched. Yet, I couldn't figure out where or by whom.

I went deeper into the mine and started coming to a winding path that started sloping downward. I came into another chamber where I found more of the elevator, but nothing of worth. So I decided to leave, not much sense in continuing.

By the time I made it back to the entrance, I was horrified to discover that the entrance had been sealed off by rubble. Wait...was this the entrance? Yeah, it must be. But how did this happen? It looked pretty stable when I entered.

So now what? I can't move all this, some of rocks looked too big to lift. If only I had a tool or...wait! There were several discarded tools, maybe I could use one of them to get out.

I retrieved a pickaxe and began chipping away at the blockage. But after a couple swings the pickaxe's head broke off. Figures. Now how do I get out of here?

Suddenly my flashlight began to flickering and everything went dark. Are you fucking kidding me!?! I thought the batteries were still good, unless the bulb died.

Great, now what do I do? Die here? I can't believe this is how my life ends, starving to death inside of a mine. I've done some dumb things in my life, but this is the dumbest. I guess the one upside is I won't have anyone to call me an idiot for coming here, assuming they ever find my body.

As I hunkered down against one of the walls, I heard a noise in the darkness. It wasn't coming from outside the mine, and whatever it was sounded like it was getting closer. I got up and felt around in the dark. I could feel two spherical objects in front of me.

They were evenly sized and shaped, smooth too. As I was touching them I heard a noise, something akin to a soft moan or maybe a content sigh. I reeled back as I heard this.

"W-who's there?" I asked.

No, response. But there was something near me. Suddenly, I felt something grab me. It felt like I was being grabbed by two large hands. I felt some hot, heavy air almost like breathing beating down on my face.

"Please, whoever, whatever you are don't hurt me!" I begged.

What happened next was unexpected. I felt something touch my lips. Felt like another pair of lips. I could also smell a thick earthy smell. It was strong, but not overpowering.

The lips part from mine and the hot air I felt moved to my ear.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." a voice said.

It was soft and sounded vaguely feminine. I could feel myself being lowered onto the floor of the mine. I felt those lips on mine again. I moved my hands along whatever was touching me. I get a sense of what I was touching.

It felt like the body of a woman. Yet her skin felt like rock and I could feel vines wrapping around her body. She seemed to have short hair, but I'm not sure if it was real hair or not.

I don't know what is happening, but I guess if this is death coming to take me, than death is a surprisingly good kisser.

I maneuvered my hands to her back and ran them until I got a handful of what I could assume was her butt. It was more voluptuous than her breasts, and they were pretty busty.

I played with the mounds causing her to moan into my mouth. I could feel one of the large hands release me and begin to paw at my crotch. Shit, I think I'm turning her on.

Not to seem selfish I reached for my fly, unzipped it, and pulled out my half erect cock from my pants. Once freed, I felt my penis being wedged between her large fingers. It felt a little rough between her rocky, but soon that feeling vanished when I felt a wave of pleasure wash over me.

Once I was fully erect, she let go of my member and I could feel a pair of legs straddle me followed by something wet and hot press against my cock. I groaned, my cock twitching with excitement as this unknown object rubbed against it.

I could feel my penis become enveloped inside a warm hole. I could hear the woman let out a gasp as I was brought deeper into her.

Once I was fully inside her, she started rocking her hips. She lowered herself on me, I could hear small panting and the beating of her breath on my face. I reached up, grab the back of her head, and forced her into a kiss.

As I kissed her, I got a nose full of that same earthy smell. I could feel the walls around my cock tightened around it. The warmth of her insides were bringing me closer to the edge.

I couldn't hold back, I sprayed my seed inside her. She let out a satisfied sigh as I pumped large amounts of my semen in her. I laid there feeling my testicles drained, and my mind go hazy.

"That was fun, I don't remember the last time I had contact with another person." the woman spoke.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" I asked.

"They called me Molly. I live here." she said.

"Who's they?" I asked.

"The men, the ones called miners." she said.

"What happened to them?" I asked.

"I don't know, they found me one day and after a while they just...left. They didn't say goodbye or anything." she said somberly.

"Why didn't you leave if they didn't return?" I asked.

"I just thought they would come back. But that was a while ago. It makes me sad, they were my only family." she said.

"Don't you have any family?" I asked.

"No...I wasn't born the same way you humans are. I was born in this mine and never left. But you're here now, so I won't be lonely anymore." she said.

"Not for long I'm afraid." I said.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because I'm trapped in here, and I can't stay here, I'll starve to death." I said.

Molly became quiet for a moment. I then felt her legs move off of me. Then I heard the sounds of rocks getting smashed. Suddenly the rocks that had previously been blocking the entrance crumbled and a blast of light entered the mine nearly blinding me.

As I regained my sight, I caught my first glimpse of Molly. She was...she was beautiful! I don't know if was how shapely she was or maybe it was the way she looked in the light, but she was stunning. Moved to the entrance of the mine and breathed in the fresh air.

"I...I never thought I'd be able to see the outside again." I said.

"I'd be sad if you ended up dead, so I helped you escape." Molly said.

I turned to her and hugged her. I let go after a minute and began walking away. After about a few feet, I stopped and turned back. Molly stood at the entrance of the mine.

"Aren't you coming?" I asked.

Molly shook her head.

"No, I think I'll stay here. I don't know anyone outside of the mines, besides you I mean. Plus this is my home." she said.

"But you don't have to stay here. You can stay with me." I said.

"Thank you, but I'd rather stay." she said.

I didn't want her to be by herself, but I couldn't really force her to leave if she didn't want too.

Hmm...perhaps I should take to miners, maybe they can shed some light on this mystery.

I went to Otis, he runs a bar in town. He'd probably know about the mine and the miners.

I entered Otis' bar, it wasn't coward. Just a few of the regulars. I approached the bar where Otis was.

"Randal, what can I do for you?" he asked.

"Hey Otis, you're pretty old, right?" I asked.

"The hell is that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"I mean, you seem pretty knowledgeable." I said.

"Oh, well you should have said that to begin with. What'd you want to know?" he asked.

"Do you know anything about the old mine outside of town?" I asked.

"Not much, I think they were mining various metals in there. But as to why it was shut down I don't know." he answered.

"Do you know if any of the miners still live in town?" I asked.

"Of course I do, in fact they're right over there." he said pointing to a table of older gentlemen.

I approached the table.

"Mind if I join you guys?" I asked.

"Depends on what you want." one of the men said.

"I wanted to ask about the mine." I said.

"It's an abandon mine, why should you care?" the same man asked.

"Ignore Frank, I'm Harry, that's Mick, Frank you already met." one of the other men said.

"Randal, so what can you tell me about the mine?" I asked.

"Well we worked there for what four, five years?" Harry said.

"Why'd it get shut down?" I asked.

"Mining company folded when we were getting a return in investments." Frank said.

"And what about Molly?" I asked.

All three of them looked at me.

"How do you know about Molly?" Harry asked.

"No body, not even the company was supposed to know about Molly." Frank said.

"How come?" I asked.

"She might've have been taken away from us." Mick said.

"So why did you keep her?" I asked.

"We found her one day and we kinda got attached to her." Harry said.

"You still haven't explained why you know about Molly." Frank interjected.

"I may have been exploring the mine earlier today." I said.

"The hell were you thinking kid?" he asked.

"Ignore Frank, but yeah that was kinda dumb. You could've been crushed by a cave in or something." Harry said.

"Believe me I know. As I was leaving the entrance must've caved in on me. If it wasn't for Molly I'd still be in there." I said.

"Wait, Molly is still in the mine?" Mick questioned.

"That doesn't make sense, why would she still be in there?" Frank asked.

"She had this idea in her head that the miners would come back. But didn't." I explained.

"That was twenty years ago, why didn't she leave after the first year?" Harry asked.

"Scared, I guessed. She told me that she wasn't familiar with anyone. Maybe if I brought you to her she'll leave." I said.

"Why do you care so much?" Frank asked.

"As I said before, she helped me out of the mine when I was trapped inside. Plus what if she gets trapped in there, or worse, she gets crushed to death?" I said.

"He's right. We should've taken her with us when we left." Harry said.

"Why didn't you?" I asked.

"Most of us were angry. We just lost our jobs and we were focused on finding new ones. Some of us moved to find other employment. I guess we forget about her at the time." Mick said.

"So, are you in?" I asked.

"Yeah, we're in." Harry said.

I led the miners back to the mine.

"Molly? Are you in there?" I called into the mine.

Molly slowly came to the entrance, when she reached the entrance the three of the miners became a gasp.

"My goodness, Molly is that you?" Mick asked.

"Yes, who are you?" she asked.

"It's me Mick, you remember me, and Harry and Frank." he said.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember you." she said.

"Molly, we were miners here. I know we've been gone for a while, but we're sorry. Could you...will you forgive you." Harry said.

"Wait, I think I remember you. Yeah, you gave my name." she said to Harry.

"Actually it was Mick's suggestion." he said.

"And you gave me sweets." she said to Mick.

"I remember when you use to be smaller, look how big you've gotten." he said.

"And you used to give me head pats sometimes." she said to Frank.

"Yeah well...you weren't really as annoying as my own kids." Frank said bashfully.

The miners gathered around Molly and hugged her. I stood by, feeling pretty good about myself.

"Hey Randal, since you seem interested, would you like to take care of Molly for us?" Harry asked.

"Uh, sure. But why?" I asked.

"We aren't exactly spring chickens, plus I think Molly would be better off with you." Mick said.

"So you better not harm her or I'm going to kick your ass." Frank said.

"Only if Molly is okay with it." I said.

"Yes, I think that's fine. Randal will take good care of me." she said.
